A Novel idea About Ventilation.

The Sanitary Institute of Great Britain
has discussed al interesting paper in which
the writer argues that ventilation, that is, the
constant change of the atmosphere, goes on
more satisfactorily in room with II low cell
ing than high one. The argument is, that
to have the currents of fresh air circulating
only in the lower part of room, leaving the
upper portion of the air in it unaffected, is
practically much worse way of ventilating
the room than, with the same movement Of
the air, to cut off the upper stagant portion
of it by low ceiling For the stagnant at
mospheric mass under the high ceiling, al
though inotionless, keeps actively at work
under the law of the diffusion of gases, foul
ing the fresh currents that circulate beneath
it, while with low rooms and high windows
no accumulation Of stagnant air can exist,
the hot and foul atmospheric strain being
swept constantly from the ceilings in the cur
rents just as dust is swept from the floor by a
broom

Kid Gloves.

1t is we'll known fact that only a small per-
centage of the so-called skid gloves" are made
of kid. The demand for gloves is much in
excess of tho supply Of genuine kid skins, and
a substitute is found in the lamb skin which
makes all excellent grade of gloves.
Of late years several kid glove factories
have been started in the neighborhood of New
York city, and the manufacture Of gloves has
been carried OH in small way. There has
been no attempt to compete with the French
glove makers, who easily lead the work., but
a fair grade of glove has been turned out,
selling well and comparing favorably with
imported goods. In all the branches of glove
making here high degree of skill is required,
and the workmen here generally learn their
trade in Europe.
Why French gloves should take the lead is
hard to tell. The same materials are used as
in other countries, and the workmen are not
over-expert; but the French glove excels in
elasticity, and "gives" when pressure is put on
it by the hand, without getting out of shape.
This country takes the lead in dogskin, buck
skin and doeskin gloves
As regards the fashion in kid gloves wide
license is given. Ladies may wear either the
dressed or undressed kid as best suits their
own tastes. All mode colors are in style,
though tans, browns and grays are leading
shades. A four button glove, with or with
out stitching OH the back, represents a popu-
lar style, the stitched backs being, however,
considered more stylish for street wear.

GOOD HEALTH.

Practical and Timely Himts About How
to Got and How to Keep 1t.
The great sources Of mischief from eating
are three-quantity, frequency, rapi'lity, and
from these, says Halls Journal Of Health,
come the horrible dyspepsias which make of
human life burden. by eating fast the
stomach, like bottle being filed through
funnel, Is full and overlooking before we
know It, But the most important reason IL,
the food Is swallowed before time has been
with tho teeth; for, like ice III u tunblcr OF
water, tho smaller tho bits are tho sooner are
they dissolved. It has been seen with the
naked ego that II solid food Is cut up in pieces
small as half a pea, it digests almost as soon,
without being chewed at all, as IL it had been
well masticated The best plan, therefore. is
for all persons to thus commute their food;
for even IL it is well chewed, tho communion
is no injury, whilc 1t Is Of very great import
ance in case Of hurry, fOrgetiulness or bad
teeth. Cheerful conversation prevents rapid
eating.
It requires five hours for an ordinary meal
to dissolve and pass out Of the stomach, during
which time this organ Is necessarily at work,
when it must have lpposc, us amy other muscle
or set of muscles, after such length OF effort.
Hence persons should not eat within less than
a five hours interval. The heart itself is ut
rest more than one third of its time. The
brain perishes without repose Never force
food on the stomach. It is but natural that
all should feel heavy when night comes, hence
the folly of late and hearty dinners or sup
pers. Always breakfast before work or exer-

its food OF clothing as to deprive it OF sleep
in the morning hours when digestion is fin

authority as DR.. Oswald.
Showering with hot water, stroking the

To ventilate room with the least draught
raise the window few inches and close the
opening with piece Of board. Air will pass
upward into the room between the upper and
lower sashes.

Latest Fashions.

Numbered with newest fashions are black
gros grain wraps, lined and trimmed with
fur, short in the back and half long in front
Undyed sealskin sacques are the latest
craze in furs.
Early Egyptian coins are now made into
necklaces OF all odd kinda kind that will
start conversation and keep it going
Long cloaks of brightest red, trimmed with
black fur, have been made fashionable in
Washington by one Of the legation ladies.
Dinner cloths or tray cloths are now fash
with colored borders in so called peasant work.
Men tailors for women are running riot on
military fashions, and the amount Of black
braid used in "slashing" is enormous.
The Russian bang, nearly straight, but
slightly CURED at the ends, is at present the
favorite arrangement for the front hair. It
should be very short at the sides, pointed in
the middle and should leave at least half of
the forehead exposed.
Some Of the newest fans are of an oval
shape and composed of exquisitely tinted and
ivory or bone, tinted to match the feathers,
and have bows of ribbons at the handles.
Skillful needle women are working panels
for reception and tea gowns in applique de-
signs of velvet on satin, buttonholed around
the edge to prevent fraying. A favorite de-
sign is a spray of cherries and leaves in black
velvet, edged and veined with steel beads, on
a background of gray or white satin. Beaded
trimmings, laces, gimps and passementeries
are used for dress and wrap trimmings in
greater profusiop than ever before.

Dresses for Girls.

The fashion of distinctive, simple styles OF
dress for girls grows more and more in favor.
For those under 8 years of age the quaint
Gretchen dresses with short waist and long
skirts combine all the good points of the old
favorite Gabrielle, but give greater oppor-
tunity for picturesque effects, and are there
fore not likely to lose their popularity for
long time to come A modification of the
round waist andsguimpe neck, characteristic
of this style, consists of fan-shaped pieces in
serted back and front the full length OF the
waist, and composed of contrasting material
laid in fine plaits turned toward the middle
Some of the guimpe effects are in yoke shape;
others narrow and square; and others still are
V-shaped, reaching about q third of the way
to the waist Round shapes, some about the
depth of an ordinary rundown collar and
others reaching quite deep, both back and
'front.' are also used.
For girls Of all ages preference is given
this season to box plated skirts, the plaits be-
ing either single, double or triple. Smaller
plaits of different material are frequently
introduced into the skirt, such as cashmere
with serge or mixed goods, and surah with
cashmere. As drapery for girls not over IL
years old, sash arrangements appear to pre-
dominate.
Children under years old wear skirts
reaching to the ankles. This length is grad
ually shortened until for girls of 8 or 10 years
the skirt reaches just below the knees, while
for misses Of - it is half way between knee
and boot tops, and for those of IA it touches
the top Of the boots.
Vests and vest effects and cutaway jackets
are very becoming to girls of 10 years and
upward and are i'll great favor.

YOUNG FOLKS COLUMN.
A PICTURE PUZZLE FOR CLEVER
YOUNG HEADS TO SOLVE.

An Easy Lesson In the Pronunciation Of
Difficult words-An Interesting De.
scription OF Fishes Which Possess the
Power Of Flying Through the Air.
Some fishes have pectoral fins, as those
upon tho chest are termed, SO large that by
means Of them they are sustained In what ap-
pears short flight through the air, and to
such the name OF flying 6sh has been given.
Whether these fishes really use their fins as
wings Is a question not yet decided. Some
observers maintain that they do, though only
for so long time, Of course, as the fins re-
main moist Many authorities In natural
history are, however, Of opinion that the
wings simply act like parachute or kite,
sustaining the fish after 1t has leaped into the
air.
There are more than thirty distinct species
Of flying fish. Two species have been occa-
sionally seen of the British coast, one Is COM
mon in the Mediterranean sea, and five have
been found along our own shores; but In
general they are most abundant In the warmer
waters Of the tropics.
The accompanying cut represents species,
Of this interesting fish.
A flight Of flying fish forms one of the most
pleasant Of the strange spectacles that from
time to time enliven the tedium Of voyage
through tropical seas The fish swim in
shoals Of dozen to hundred or more, and
whole shoals often leave the water, darting
in the same direction through the air and,
after descending into the water ut distance
of 200 yards or more from the place where
